Crowncom 2012

The 7th International ICST Conference on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications

18 – 20 June 2012

Stockholm, Sweden

CALL FOR PAPERS

HIGHLIGHTS

The event is endorsed by the European Alliance for Innovation, a leading community-based organisation devoted to the advancement of innovation in the field of ICT

All accepted papers will be published by IEEEXplore and submitted for indexing by Google Scholar, ISI, EI Compendex, Scopus and many more

Crowncom is a prime event on Cognitive Radio and the 2012 edition will be hosted in the Scandinavian pearl of Stockholm, Sweden. The program will also feature interesting social events and tours.

SCOPE

Cognitive radio provides a flexible platform that enables the design of systems using the spectrum in radically new ways. How to harness the power the cognition offers, is still an open problem. New schemes for spectrum utilization have to be power efficient, be applicable in a large scale networks, and be able to co-exist with legacy systems. Regulatory rules and conformance test procedures need to be defined to assure the protection of the legacy systems. In order to make the cognitive radio a success story also the market mechanisms and value chains need to be defined. Spectrum trading and dynamic access schemes should encourage efficient usage of the spectrum and collaboration among the stakeholders. This conference provides a venue for researchers to propose new solutions to the technical, regulatory and techno-economical problems related to the cognitive radios.
